Regarding infection in villages, Dr Sahoo said, “Villagers are travelling to and fro cities. Villagers are also organising festivals with small gatherings also. Most of them are not following Covid guidelines.”
Dr Sahoo said the Government may be forced to extend lockdown restrictions from May 19 if no improvement is marked in the Covid situation in the State despite attempts.
It may be noted that Dr Sahoo had earlier calculated that daily Covid number will start declining from May 14.
